One Foot After The Other

[Blair Petrescu]

After a restless night sleep, Blair had approached the next day with an usually joyful attitude. A grin posed beneath healthy looking pink cheeks. Once she lingered out of the safety of the common room there would be no return. The battle between excitement and anxiety forced her on to leave the perimeter of blue. Each legs quivered with nerves as her robed figure wondered.

Soft radiance cutting through the sharp sandstone maze. "Stairs!" Blair screamed in thought. One foot scrapped the stone followed by another. This obstacle would surely leave her lost or trapped. Students scurrying past, aiming to reach their classes before it was too late. Blair froze. One tanned hand gripped the banister. All time seemed to stop. Eyes loomed over the flashes that were once recognized as students. Her body gaining transparency, invisible to every beings hurried out of sight. "What's so scary about a bit of rock..." she mumbled. Her head tilted down, eyes glooming over her stilled feet.

The strange moment faltered dropping her back in reality. "I'm sure i had a map here somewhere." she muttered, half her conscious engaged in fumbling around in a grey bag hung at her hip.

 

[Aiden Mauven]

Aiden had just gotten inside the castle after a long run alone the grounds, there wasn't much of a path so he had to make one, over the summer he had gotten used to running and didn't want to stop, it cleared his tainted mind. As Aiden ran up the large stair cases he passed by some lingering first years, they really were starting to get on his nerve, but he wouldn't say anything as he was a first year last year, and that would be stupid.

As Aiden got onto the sixth floor corridor he heard someone's voice, it was off in the distance but he still heard them. Aiden shrugged his broad shoulders and jogged in their direction as it was on the way to the Gryffindor Tower. When he reached the person he smirked inwardly, thinking it was Bianca, as he got closer to the girl he realized it was her little sister, taken aback slightly her came to a slow halt and stopped in front of the girl and said roughly, "Hey, Blair right?" Aiden gave the girl his patent crooked smile and took a sip of water from his clear red nalgine bottle, it had a few stickers on it, two of his favorite soccer team, one for hockey and then a small snitch for quidditch, that part was usually well hidden in front of muggles, if the bottle was used at all.
